Love this 🤩 Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon tap dancing across the keys of a giant-sized typewriter while dancers’ legs mimic typebars striking letters in Ready Willing and Able. They dance to, “Too Marvelous for Words”, written in 1937 by Johnny Mercer. That typewriter is really something else! I wish it was in color. The paper even moves up.

James Cagney & Ruby Keeler performing “Shanghai Lil” in FOOTLIGHT PARADE (1933). This film was the first film where James Cagney was able to show off his vaudeville experience as a song and dance man. Cagney fought Warner Brothers to play this role. Eventually, he would show off these talents to their fullest later in his career. ❤️ | Vintage Glamour
